If you have ever gotten three quotes for the same roof and they came back $9,000, $14,000, and $19,000, you already know the problem. They were not pricing the same job. We write your project up once, send that same write-up to up to 5 local contractors, and put their numbers on one sheet where you can actually compare them.
Start a project How it worksBidReferee is a service of Moser Capital Group LLC. We are not a contractor and we do not do the work. Our job is smaller than that: make the bids comparable, and keep the process clean.
Most projects run about two weeks from the first call to a signed contract. Here is the whole thing, start to finish.
On a short call we turn your project into one document: what is included, measurements, photos, timing, rough budget. That document is the job. Everybody prices that document.
We send the write-up to up to 5 invited contractors. They get 2 business days to send a ballpark. They never see each other's numbers, and the numbers stay sealed until the round closes.
You get every ballpark on a single page: what is included, what costs extra, how soon they can start, and whether they are licensed and insured.
Pick up to 3 that you like. We set up the visits, and each contractor turns the ballpark into a firm written quote.
You sign directly with the contractor, and you pay the contractor directly, deposit included. BidReferee never holds your construction money. The contractor pays our disclosed fee separately.
Most lead sites make their money selling your phone number to whoever pays. We do it the other way around. These rules run the whole business, and we have never made an exception to them.
One flat price for the package you pick, agreed before we start. It is never a percentage of your project, so a bigger roof does not mean a bigger fee for us. The service fits projects of $5,000 and up.
We run the whole round and hand you the comparison. You take it from there.
The same round, plus we do the legwork and give you a recommendation.
For jobs that need two trades, or a project that has to move first.
Cancel before your packet goes out, or we look at the project and tell you it is not a fit, and you get a full refund. Same if a Platform round comes back with fewer than 3 ballparks: refund, or we run it again. Your call.
Joining the network is free. Getting invited is free. Sending a ballpark is free. You pay us only when you win the job: 3% of the contract you signed, $150 at the low end, $750 at the top, and founding members pay half of that, $100 at the low end and $375 at the top, on every job they win in their first 12 months. You cannot buy a better ranking, and the homeowner sees exactly what you paid us, printed on their comparison sheet. If you are good with all of that, we would like to hear from you.
Contractors: ask to joinNo. It is a rough number based on the write-up, and it is labeled an estimate every place it appears. You get a firm written quote after the contractor has seen the job in person.
Nothing unless they win. The winner pays us 3% of the initial signed contract, with a $150 minimum and a $750 cap. You see the exact fee on your comparison sheet.
On a Platform Sprint, it is your choice: we run another round, or we refund the $99.
The contractor, directly. BidReferee is not part of your construction contract. We do not do the work, we do not supervise it, and we cannot guarantee a contractor's workmanship.
You pay it straight to your contractor, under your contract with them, the way you would on any job. BidReferee does not receive, hold, or release construction money, and we are not an escrow service. The winning contractor pays our success fee separately, by invoice, and you see that fee on your comparison sheet.
Roofing, concrete, remodeling, decks, and similar work, $5,000 and up, around Knoxville for now.
Fill this in and we will email you back to set up a short call. Nothing gets charged today. You pick a package on the call, once we have seen what the project actually is.
